This procurement, initiated on 7th November 2019, consists of two service lots: Lot 1, which focuses on Adult Hearing Services for Age Related Hearing Loss, and Lot 2, which introduces a new Community Micro-suction service. The contract is set to span from 1st May 2019 to 31st March 2022, with the procurement method designated as "Other". The tender period concluded on 19th February 2019, with the duration of contracts awarded specific to each service lot. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for healthcare providers specialising in audiology and community health services, particularly those capable of offering adult hearing assessments and community-based micro-suction procedures. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to explore participation, especially given the re-opening nature of Lot 1, which allows previously successful bidders another chance to contribute to improving health services for adults over 55 years old. Firms interested in this field should consider leveraging their expertise in patient-focused services to enhance their competitiveness in future tenders. ## Notice NHS South Warwickshire CCG have completed an Any Qualified Provider (AQP) Process for the following services: - Lot 1 - Adult Hearing Service for Age Related Hearing Loss - Lot 2 - Community Micro-suction services Lot 1, for Adult Hearing Services for Age Related Hearing Loss was a re-opening of the existing Adult Hearing Loss Service AQP. Providers who had previously applied, and been successful for, this service need not apply.The CCG re-opened the existing AQP in order to secure additional capacity across the market. The service is aimed at adults aged 55 and over experiencing difficulties with their hearing and communication where a GP considers they may benefit from hearing assessment and care. It provides a comprehensive service user-centred direct access hearing service. Lot 2, for Community Micro-suction services is a new requirement which is closely related to the Adult Hearing Service requirement. The intention of the Commissioner was, therefore, to procure both requirements making use of a single procurement vehicle. The micro-suction service provides community based wax removal services for patients who are aged 18 and above using micro-suction and any other suitable instruments under microscopic or magnified visualisation that would previously have required referral to secondary care but does not require specialist intervention. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f5108de8-e710-4d50-a06a-b454dc10cd3a | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Nov 2019 | | Submission deadline | 19 Feb 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 3 Apr 2019 | | Contract period | 30 Apr 2019 - 31 Mar 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS ARDEN AND GREATER EAST MIDLANDS COMMISSIONING SUPPORT UNIT | | Locality | WARWICK | | Post town | Coventry | | Postcode | CV34 4DE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG1 Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire | | ITL 3 | TLG13 Warwickshire CC | | Local authority | Warwick | | Electoral ward | Warwick Saltisford | | Westminster constituency | Warwick and Leamington | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 3 | | Supplier names | INDUSTRIAL DIAGNOSTICS; SOUTH WARWICKSHIRE NHS FOUNDATION TRUST; SPECSAVERS HEARCARE GROUP | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 7 Nov 2019 at 08:31 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f5108de8-e710-4d50-a06a-b454dc10cd3a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f5108de8-e710-4d50-a06a-b454dc10cd3a 7th November 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=26926&B=OGC Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/68205 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.southwarwickshireccg.nhs.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
